Last night I made a forum post on the offical SWTOR forums explaining the reasons as to why I was leaving SWTOR. It wasnt flaming, or trolling, it was just valid reasons as to why I quit because I just wanted to get my point across and get feedback from other players, even maybe let them talk me into staying.

2 mins later it was deleted

I think they allready did that themselves?

Dont take it personally OP, vote with your wallet. SWTOR is a cancerous game that you are better off without.

Never understood why people repost deleted posts expecting not to be banned.

Just reminds me of "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

9/10 do not let you post a so called "good bye" thread as they tend to quickly derail in to garbage filled flame-fests

Same goes for re-opening closed topics (this is usually lumped in under the trolling clause)

So no matter how much you feel you have the right to tell a bunch of people who do not give a penny your feelings on leaving SWToR you were in the wrong here and you decided to resolve it in the most immature way you could (ok actually i can think of a few more immature ways.. but it is not by much). There is (or was at least for me) a fairly detailed survey you had to fill out when closing your account that also give you the option to write further commenst on why you are leaving. This then goes directly to the marketing department so they can evaluate why they lost you as a customer (trust me.. i have worked with handeling stuff like that.. not for BW but still.. It is dead boring but get done any wayt)

So take a bacon-buttie and chill your behind.

Just out of curiousity, what exactly were your reasons for leaving?

Since I left SWTOR after the first month and didn't return until it went F2P, I'm actually enjoying the game for once. Of course, I'm on an RP server which has more to do then just grind for loot all day. Which is leading me to believe, player created storyline and content is whats really missing in today's MMO genre.

Perhaps one day, when PvP conflict can be incorporated in such a way as to create enough content value without allowing annoying ganksters to ruin the fun factor of a good player driven universe. I like the Bounty system seen in a few MMO's but it has to create enough risk as to limit just how easy it is to be a mass murdering imbucile.

Rubbish. I went to the forums so I could have a mature discussion as to why I left with other subscribers. I was not looking for attention, I didnt not do it to flame or troll. One of the main reasons I did it was because I had experience from this kind of forum posting before. When I left Warcraft back in 2007, the changes that happened to my resto druid, i was actually talked back into staying from helpful advice from other balance druid, that one post and helpful tips and advice from other players kept me with WoW for another 5 years.

People may say "oh well you should make up your own mind", but I personally welcome the opinions and advice from fellow players to help me make up my mind, and if EA wont allow me to do that when I pay them a monthly fee then something is wrong!

Doesn't matter why you left. You could have stated that you left cause the game was so good it was making you get bad grades. They still would have deleted it. Goodbye threads are bad for business. Bottom line.

BioWare is more EA now than man... twisted and evil...

When i leave a game, i just leave. I dont try to get my 15 seconds of fame. Just leave is the mature thing to do. People already know why the game sucks lol. Unless its a major issue there isnt need for everyone that leaves the game because they hate it to post a message ;) Otherwise you are just looking for attention, and by reposting it a second time kind of proves that.

Did you read the rest of my post, you are not (within the rules of the forum) given permission to post "goodbye" threads and time upon again open a locked thread is considerd trolling.

You got what was comming to you.

I agree with Ono,it's best to just leave and be done with it.Many people post negative word's just to get attention or encite other's and flames/troll's usually always follow.

SWTor main board's have been squelching this sort of thing from the beginning,can't say that I blame them.

Game forums are not public property.  It's no different than if you went into a department store holding up signs that their service is crappy, they have every right to escort you off their property and ban you from returning.  But as with a crappy department stores, you don't need to stand there and hold up a sign, people figure it out over time and it shuts down as their competition does a better job, so no worries.

Your theory of bad businesses shutting down no longer applies thanks to F2P.  When games were sub based yes, if your game was bad nobody would pay to play and it would eventually close down, but people will play bad F2P games all day long............

Players don't have that survery if they play SWTOR using time cards.  The subscription just runs out quietly, so the only feedback EA could possibly receive would be via the forums.

Conceivably, EA could email a survey, but they don't, which leads back to EA not caring why someone let their playtime expire (which someone else already mentioned).
